Aphex 828

"We feel that the Anaconda represents a revolutionary method of signal transport, at a price point that's remarkably lower than other digital snake devices," says Marvin Caesar, Aphex President. "However, the low price belies the fact that the Anaconda is perhaps the most advanced product in this category, with fully redundant fiber transceivers and power supplies. We've been working closely with industry professionals in the development of the Anaconda, and their reaction to the product is nothing short of outstanding."

The Anaconda Model 828 is comprised of two identical units on either end of a high speed fiber run. There are eight ADAT optical inputs and outputs on each unit. Each unit has an ultra-precision crystal generating internal word clock; selectable external word clock is fed through one BNC with selectable 75 W or high input impedance; word clock distribution through eight BNCs; and one RJ-45 for control and metering/status feedback of Aphex 1788A's. Each unit has two fiber transceivers with automatic failure switching for redundancy. The transceivers use industry standard SC connectors for use with low cost, readily available multimode fiber. Two internal power supplies automatically switch if one fails. The units are designed to be mounted in the rear of a rack for ease of connection and space efficiency.
